SPRINGDALE, AR--(Marketwire - 12/10/09) - Hannover House, the film and video releasing label for Target Development Group, Inc. (Pinksheets:TDGI - News) (Other:www.TargetDevelopmentGroup.com, www.HannoverHouse.com), has acquired the North American video rights to "Sensored," an acclaimed suspense thriller starring Robert Picardo ("Star Trek: Voyager," "Stargate Atlantis," "Stargate SGI").
The agreement was entered into between Target-Hannover House president Fred Shefte with Jo and Kevin Haskin, of KeJo Productions, LLC, an up-and-coming feature film production company headquartered in Sacramento, California.
In "Sensored," Robert Picardo plays Wade Nixon, a children's book author trying to keep his frayed mind from unraveling. Wade's battle with his own demons causes him to believe there is a conspiracy against him. Hanging in the balance is his legacy, and he'll stop at nothing to prove its reality. The line between mundane reality and horrific fantasy is skillfully blurred in this powerful film that Movie News described as "intense and intelligent... a top quality thriller that delivers the goods."
"Sensored" has generated enthusiastic audience reactions in sneak preview screenings, with research feedback meeting or exceeding results generated by the current, indie-cinema hit, "Paranormal Activity."
Legendary film director Joe Dante ("Gremlins," "Small Soldiers") provided insightful commentary about the film.
"The great Robert Picardo gets inside the mind of a madman in Ryan Todd's unexpected, riveting mindbender that plays like a horror film but ends up being so much more. A tour-de-force for one of my favorite actors, who at last gets to carry a picture. Sarah Knowlton is likewise memorable. Timely, thoughtful and altogether engrossing. One of the year's finest indies." -- Joe Dante.
The film was directed by Ryan Todd and produced by Kevin Haskin and Jo Haskin of KeJo Productions, LLC.
"Sensored" is not currently rated by the MPAA, but is expected to earn a "R" rating when reviewed by the Classifications and Ratings Administration. The film runs for 91 minutes and is in color and stereo. DVDs of "Sensored" will be priced at $19.95 suggested retail and Blu-Ray units will be priced at $24.95 suggested retail. The DVD UPC number is 7-6145073673-3 and the Blu-Ray UPC number is 7-6145003673-4. Hannover House and Target have set a video release date for Tuesday, February 2, 2010.
